x_losMy mother has discovered this quite interesting website on which, right before Spring break, for about 600 dollars, one can buy a trip. Not a super organized, freaky 'we lead you around via a ring through the nose to places you don't want to see' package, but one only pays 600$ for airfare and lovely hotel rooms. It's very much not a scam, i.e. no danger of ending up in 'Hotel Le Roche' or accidentally signing a contract selling yourself into prostitution when buying the thing. Which is always a big concern... Anyway, we don't yet know where exactly we'll be going, as one buys the things a few days before one leaves (thus the cheapness!).
Mexico City is, like, the worst case scenario of options, while options in Paris, London, Florence and even Fair Frankfurt are v. appealing to me. My mom says, if I want, I can bring a friend as long as she puts out (heh) her share of the money and brings some spare cash for food/activities, though my mum will help with some of that (i.e. she's not going to demand that you pay for your ice cream/split the dinner check). Kel, tho, might not be favorably disposed to offer herself up as a traveling companion because of her deep, undying hate for the French ever since they served her that baloney... (literally- the lunch meat, not the issuing of untrue statements).
Anyway, if you don't know the amusing baloney story, Kel would be delighted to tell you. Over and over and over again, in fact. If you don't know her, I've memorized the exact wording and gestures thanks to the many repetitions so can replicate the experience.
I realize that, for some, 600$ is not readily at hand, and am not trying to bum anyone out by presenting an offer they can't jump on. But if it is a possibility for you, I need someone to do 'teenager'/'Erin's a big History Geek' things with, so as to avoid Euro Disney (btw, ewwwwwww) and not be a big geek/rape target stumbling around the cool sights of Paris lonely and alone. Please comment if you have the slightest window of opportunity! I don't want to drag my little sister Molly around the Louvre and be glared at by the French as she whines that she hates museums (even art museums, despite being an artist herself- weird) and just wants to visit the huge Gap of Paris after we finish my stupid outing.
BTW, Spring break is March 20-29. I'm hoping some of you people I haven't seen in Many Moons may be able to go, as I miss you something wretched. I know Meg isn't reading this and has Big Plans, and that it's probably a facile hope that Ruth and Sarah's (or even Jess- despite having met her, like, once and only talked via AIM since she was really cool, and would totally save my sorry ass from the clutches of Euro Disney) free times align with mine, but it's worth a try, sending the offer out. Not that my Columbia friends aren't awesome and equally invited! And kel, if you've found it in your heart to forgive France...
